Nobody had any Tight to make such pledges, and the convention could not s bound by any individual in ad- vance. Suppose Mr. Hitchcock or Nye should now pledge that no change shall be made in the state central committee by the mext convention, would theso pledzes be binding on the state convention. The legality of the last county conveation is undisputa: ble. The delegates eclocted by it to the state convention were recogni a3 legal representatives of Donglas county. Beinga legal body, partici- pated in by delegatos whose right to act for the party nobody dared dis pute, the county convention reorga- nized its central committee. It was not our purpose wash the dirly linen of our party, but when wo are told by the Pacific monopoly organ that the convention did wrong in clecting a new committoe, we ars compelled to refer to the malodorous record of the old central committee. Itis a matter of record, disgraccful alike fo our pirty and to the men who were guilty of peculation, that the defunct con- trdl committee made an investigation inta the disposal of its campaign fund. A special committee, consisting of Charles Banckes, chairman, Major Balcombe and Joseph Redman, made 0 unanimous report after examiuing into the reports,which clearly set forth that a large sum, nearly three hundred dlars, collected by Frauk Hanlon aniE.

We may even call on Governor Nance, if we deem it necessary, as you called upon Lim, to protect the rights of workingmen to vote as they please, sand if the authorities refuse us pro- tection, wo shall protect ourselves.

Nobody com- pels them to take part in the republi- can primaries, nor is there any obsta- cle to their taking part in these pri- maries, as republicans, but we cer- taiuly shall resist their attempt to pack republican primaries with demo- crats, repeaters and voting cattle im- ported from other countries and states. This we have a right todo and this is all we areattempting to do in compelling republicans to enrcll themselves on the county register. Ail this hue and cry about the un- heard of restrictions and infringe- meuts on the rights of citizens comes from a set of scoundrels who have made cur primaries worse than a farce, who make a trade of buying and sell- ing votes to all parties, and mainly from the monopoly mansgers who want to prevent the republican party from having any choice except what they dictate. There is nothing un- falr, unreasonable or unprecedented in the regulations adopted by the republican committee. In the cities of New York, Breoklyn, Philadelphia and Boston snd San Francisco, 1o republican can vote at primary election wnless his name is enrolled in the republican club of his ward. No an is enrolled in the club unless he makes personal spplication and is koown to be a republican. Each ward club holds 4 primary election and eleots delezates to tho county conven- tion, and they are the only recognized delegates entitled to seats in the con- vention. In Ohio and California the primary elections are regulated by law, and no man can vote there who is not willing to make such answers under oath concerning his residence and political standing as the inspectors of election may put. M. Garfield himself, Ratherford B. Hayes or Governor Foster are subject to the same regulations and do not consider it an indignity. It rewaios for such high-toned republicans as Frank Walters, Mike Meany, Frank Hanlon, and Hitchcock to fume and froth at the mouth over the indignity put upon them by requiring them to rezister. Intelligent, candid and up- right men of all parties must see that it is 0o hardehip or tndignity to men who desire to’vote at primaries to enroll rangements for a fair. —A new bank will bs in operation in Oolumbus in a fow days by men from Decorah, Towa. —Oentral City merchants offer aid in constructing a free bridge over the Loup in Nance county. —Thera is great excitement over the new B. & M. town of Chester, 11 miles south of Hebron. —A prospective sheep raiser with a flock of 1100 sheep is looking for a location near Hebron. —1It is stated that the B. & M. will erect two shops at Plattsmouth larger than any there at present. —A young North Bender made out with 100, of his_employer's monev but wag caiht irposes erecting eleva- tors at three different atations on the B. & M. in Tiayer county. —Wahoo's new Congregatio: church is nearly completed, at a cost of £1500.

STATE PRESS COMMENTS. CRAVEN STALWARTS. Pawnco Entorprise, The republican central committee at its meeting Wednesday decided on Lincoln as the place of meeting for the state convention and 3 o'clock p. m. Wednesday, September 1, the time. Tha representation will be the same as in the last convention, again giving this county eight delegates. In regard to the selection of United States senator it was decided to leave the whole matter to the convention. Thus the coming couvention, from the offices for which it is to nominate and the questions to be decided, promises to be one of the most stirring and im- portant inthe states’ history. The brave way, and the wise way too, to our notion, for the central committee to have acted in the matter would for which we paid $75,000, and which is asseesed at the enolmon& m?h“ 856,780, or 3,400 per mile, us we havo an inorease of only §35,802.- 50 for the following improvements: Soventeen miles of St. Joo road, for which we paid §75,000, new rail mill which the railroad officials assert cost $22,000, four miles of new side tfrlck, new freight depot, nine miles of new ot ‘Which wo paid 850,000, This latter, it is claimed, Was not com- pleted in time for assessment, but ss a matter of fact much of the work was done and nearly all the material in the county, #o that the property was here and subject to taxation. At a fair estimate the St. Joe road is worth at least 3138,000; the rail mill 820, 000; the road morth §50,000; side- tracks and other improvemonts §15,- 000,Fmaking a totalfof §221,000 which should have added to the valuation of last year, making a grand total of £503,069.60. % When we consider that all kinds of matertals used in constructing rail- roads have advanced<since 1879, and that the price for labor thereon has advanced accordingly, and the farther fact that all shops and other build- ings along the line, including the largs shops in Omaha, have been lumped in with the road and assessed as a part thereof, there can be no ex- cuse offered for the reductionin assess- ment by the state board, except ignor- ance or dishonesty, and the people should see to It that they are never again placed in a position to thus be- tray the trust reposed in them. Now the company cannot be blsmed for securius this class legislation, and subis squéutly the reduction of taxation under it, as corporations, may reason- sbly bo expected todo what will bene- fit them most, even if it requires the outlay of a Jittle money to accom- plish their parposes. Tt is easy to sec wherein the com- pany is to be bevefftted, and the peo- ple correspondingly defrauded. In the first instance, by throwing the machine shops and all other buildings in with the road, dividing it up by 1036 miles of road, the company actually escopes nine-tenths of the taxation. Shops are generally built in localities whera large bonuses are given in bonds by the people who in return expect the tixes therefrom, the same as from other property ac- cording to value. This, of course, makes taxes higher in such localities than in those where no bonds have been voted; and by thus “removing” their property, as it were, from the localities where bonds have been votedand given to the company, and scattering it along through a deso- late country where there is virtually no taxation, they evade paying their just portion of the burdens voted for their benefit. Take, for example, the proposed shops in Grand Island, for which our people voted §50,000, and which are to costnot less than $260,000. As- sessed herc at their real value, they would soon return to us a considerablo portion of the money to be paid thera- for, in the way of taxesy but devido it along 1000 miles of roads—along hundreds of miles of which virtually 00 taxes are collected-—and we have the pitiable sum of §100 for. taxation for the $50,000 that we have voted —a. have been tosay whether or not the senatorial question should come up in the convention. But it is evident that one party was afraid, another didn't dare and the other eaid you mustu’t. So our stalwart leaders flinched. U. P. MANIPULATION, Naponee Banner. The republican state central com- wmittee refused to take any action in the matter of providing for the nomi- nation of an U. . Such men as Thurston, an employs of the U, P. Hitcheock politicians, fought it down, to the convention without any pro- . poprsaams-nafl 1ssue in every csuaty and send men to the state con- vention who are in favor of neini- ag. Buth parties should put forth their best men and lut them canvaes the state together. We opine that the democracy will do it, and they will have & great advantage over the republicans unless they do likewise. A NEW DEAL. ‘Picrco County Call. The republican state convention has been called for the 1st of September to meet at Lincoln. It strikes us that the committee were in a big hurry to hold the convension; they have acted as though they wanted to stifle all cussion of the merits of the different candidates. But since the convention has been called so early it becomes neceseary to look closely at the record of our present ofiicials, who will azain undoubtedly be presonted to the people as their candidates. The records of the state officers have been, on the whole, good. It remaiss for the people to determino whether our representative has given satisfac- tion. If being a pliant tool in the hands of all monopolies, if rewarding persons unfit for office simply because they are good workers, if removing pestmisstrosses from office because their father opposed U. P. bonds, are qualifications that are likelv to take with the people, then E. K. Valentine will be our next candidate for con- gress. Butwe sincere hope he will not be nominated. THE NEMAHA ERAUD, Lincotn Globe, Church Howe claims that his at- tempt to steal this state for Tilden and reform in 1876 will bs remember- ed by the grateful bourbons of Nema- ha, and that defeat without him on the ticket for state senator is Inevitable, Such credulity is invaluable to the valorous Howo, if he can only por. suade the republeans that he never attempted any such thing, A alight reference to the legislative journals is all that s necess: —_— Railroad Texation — Evasion and Fraud. Grand Ieland Indepesdent, _The last legislature deemed it ad- visable to make a privileged class of railroad corporations, which it did by creating a “‘state board of equaliza. tion,” whose duty it should be to fix the valuation for the assessment of all railroad and telegraph property in this state. They also went farther, and provided that round-houses, de. pots, hotels, shops and all other build. ings and rolliog " stock, shoud be thrown in as one class of property and divided along the entiry 1ns of the road and assessed with the road at 30 much per mile. The evil fruits of this echeme carricd through by the company is now being reaped by the peoplo of Nebrasks, and as Hatl, as well as all the counties along the line of the U. P, inside of settloment, is loser of many thousands of dollars, we deem it our plain duty to call ospe. cial attention to some points in the case, and show what the people of Hall county lose by this fraudalent ag- rangement, . In 1879, the 257 miles of railroad in Hall county was assessed at 810,- 30013“ mile, making a total of $265,- 369.60. In addition to this the round house, hotel, depot, etc., were as- sessed at 816,600, meking a grand total of §281,969.60. In 1830, under the new fangled ar- rangement, with the new estimate of the board of equalization, consisting of State Treasurer Bartlett. Gov. Nance and Auditor Leidtke, the grand total of railrcad sseessment in Hall couaty is only 8317,772—this fn- cludes seventeen miles of St. Joe road 1 railrcad and one of the old line ond it was finally decided to leave it sum 80 insigt ificant as to be unworthy of consideraticn. That thia is a base fraud no sane man can deny. Members of the state board of equal- ization (evasion it ought to be called) excuse the low assessment of the St. Joeroad on the ground that “‘earn- ings” are taken into consideration. We always thought it was the value and not the earnings of property that was assessed since the abolition of the income tax. Suppose an assessor should, in assessing a farm, take into consideration the earnings instead of the value thereof, many would have something due them from tho INYALIDS AND OTHERS SEEKING HEALTH, STRENGTH and ENERGY, WITHOUT THE USE OF DRUGS, ARE RE- i bear: Acd others who sut e 31 ‘MCHER GALVARIC CC., COR.

Employers’ Liability. An importan bill to define and regulate employers’ liability to work- men is now under consideration in the British house of commons. This isa subject which has always been | mad: surrounded with many perploxitios, both in Europe and ‘in the United Statee, the difliculty being to enact a Iaw or fixed set of principles that would ineure cxact justiceto employer and employe in what are olass. ed a5 daogerous ccoupations, sach a3 working in coal mines, gas factories, and upon rail. ways. The varying views on the sub- ject may bo estimated by the tact that while the pending bill consists of only two aud one-half pages, the amend- ments cffercd 1 ten pages. Knowles amendment, which scems to offer the most direct way to equitable relations between both parties, con- templates a system similar to that in force in Germany, by establishing an insurance fund, one-thicd of which shall be contributed by the employer. In case of an accident, then, in which one or mote cmployes may sustain an injury, his or their compen- eation, or the compensation to their dependent relatives in case of death to the workmen, shall be drawn from the insurance fund, and no costs for & legal action ehall be allowed unless it Lecomes necessary for acourt to deter- mine the amount to be paid; and it ehall be lawful for the employer to de- duct from the amount which such workman or his legal representativea may be entitled to receive, any sum which may be due from the workman’s wages to the ineurance fund. It is contemplated, in this connection, to fix a scale of componsation to which the workmen may be entitled for accidents in which injuries are sustained. Tn Frence, under the existing law, there is no Jimit to the liability of the employer in case of accident, but a bill is now pending in the legislature to change that. Ia this country, asis well known, in railroad accidents an employe cannot recover if it appear that the injury sustaived was through the negligence of another employe, which seems unjust to the individusi who suffers, The discussion of this subject now going on abroad, must have an influence on the employer's liability in the United States, and it is reasonable to supposs It msy lead to important changes. 1 youare troubled wi T M L AL disease of che liver, lood or stomach, and wish for i, wod ks 50 other, snd i e s Bot ot 3t #end $1 50 in a letter to the Freuch Pad Co., Tolzdo, 0., and receive ane by retura mail.
